A manual surgical instrument designed to bend and cut light-bone fixation plates (e.g., 1 to 2 mm in thickness), such as those used in craniomaxillofacial (CMF) or finger surgery. The instrument is typically made of high-grade steel and consists of two arms/rods that form a handle proximally and extend distally through a pivot to form jaws that bend and cut the metal plates allowing the surgeon to customize their size and shape. This is a reusable device.
